Your bedroom should be your retreat—not your laundry room, office, snack bar, or panic zone. Julie & Janis break down their step-by-step bedroom cleaning process with the JJ's Clean and Cozy Bedroom Checklist. From finding your pillow under 17 mismatched socks to creating a 5-minute nightly routine, this episode transforms bedroom overwhelm into sanctuary bliss.

🧹 What You'll Learn:

  • Why your bedroom directly impacts sleep quality and mental health
  • The JJ's 11-step Clean and Cozy Bedroom Checklist
  • Top-to-bottom cleaning strategy (because gravity never skips a day)
  • 5-minute nightly maintenance routine
  • Money-saving cleaning supply alternatives
  • How to make cleaning feel like self-care, not punishment

✅ The Complete JJ's Bedroom Checklist:

  1. Ceilings, corners, and light fixtures - Pro tip: Use pillowcases on fan blades
  2. Windows, blinds, and curtains - Kitchen tongs + microfiber cloth hack
  3. Declutter surfaces - Nightstand rule: lamp, one book, one joy item max
  4. Dust all surfaces - Hit every flat area including bed frame details
  5. Clean mirrors and glass - Bonus points for silly faces while cleaning
  6. Empty trash and reset - Keep extra liners at bottom for easy replacement
  7. Laundry launch - Sort, wash, fold, and delegate putting away
  8. Vacuum under the bed - Yes, really—dust bunnies multiply down there
  9. Clean floors and rugs - Baking soda treatment for smelly rugs
  10. Change your sheets - Fresh bedding = instant mood boost
  11. Add a touch of joy - Candles, plants, or linen spray

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • A cluttered bedroom equals a cluttered mind
  • Visual clutter increases anxiety and decreases sleep quality
  • Don't fill every space you declutter—empty space calms the mind
  • Phone placement: outside room or face-down with emergency contacts allowed
  • Clean bedroom = mental health strategy (therapy but cheaper)

⏰ 5-Minute Nightly Reset Routine:

  1. Toss laundry in hamper
  2. Clear nightstand
  3. Straighten pillows and blankets
  4. Light candle or spritz lavender
  5. Move phone face-down or outside room

🧠 The Psychology Behind It: Research shows bedroom clutter triggers stress responses and disrupts sleep. A clean bedroom signals your brain it's time to rest and recharge, significantly impacting mental health and sleep quality.

📝 This Week's Challenge: Choose 3 items from the checklist and tackle them. Take a before picture—you'll be amazed at your transformation!
